MGM has sent over artwork for a number of upcoming Pink Panther DVD releases. Each of the titles will be available to own from the...

Further Details:
MGM Home Entertainment has announced remastered editions of The Pink Panther (1964), Revenge of the Pink Panther, The Pink Panther Strikes Again and Trail Of The Pink Panther. Each will be available to own from the 31st January, priced at around $14.94 a piece. Also available from the 31st will be the first time releases of Son of Pink Panther, and Curse of the Pink Panther. Again, retail should be around $14.94 each. I'm afraid we have no word on any extra material for these, but we'll let you know if anything turns up. For now though, here's the artwork - although we're still waiting for The Pink Panther (1964) art:

If you don't have any of these, it would just be cheaper to buy the five film set. Then you can just pick up Inspector Clouseau, Return of the Pink Panther, Curse of the Pink Panther, and Son of the Pink Panther separately at the above price.

Wilson Bros wrote: It is a real pi*ser that MGM are not including Inspector Clouseau in the series, as it bests all subsequent efforts in almost the last 30 years. Revenge really isn't any good at all, and that was a full Sellers film. With IC, Alan Arkin brought a greater sense of realism to the character, making his absurd attempts at covering up his mistakes even more squirm-inducing for the greater investment in him. He also gave Clouseau a genuine French accent, with this coming before the 70s movies where in many cases, Sellers tweaked his tones to get a laugh during times when the scripts were lacking, becoming a crutch.

Inspector Clouseau has a fast-paced plot that keeps it moving along at a satisfying rate, something that a lot of the other movies could have learned from. It has a greater sense of space than the others, and a few of the set-pieces are pretty ingenious (including one that was nicked at the climax of the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair) When watching, it is obvious that the movie was hacked about with in the editing room, throwing up a few holes that you have to work out for yourself, and it's a great shame that this material will never see the light of day again. A fast pace was attained in the final cut, but it would have been an even better film (and still been propelled by the well-constructed script) if had been given time to breathe.

It's not a masterpiece, but Inspector Clouseau deserves to be seen, especially in scope.

According to The Digital Bits, Inspector Clouseau actually is being released on the same day as these. Hopefully somone can clarify this information.

The packaging on the Pink Panther Collection is beautifully executed and contains the essential films in the series (except Return of the Pink Panther). And the price of the full collection makes it a no-brainer purchase. My guess is that the full set is probably out of production and the copies on the shelf will begin to dry up.

Fans will already have the collection (containing "The Pink Panther", "A Shot In The Dark", "The Pink Panther Strikes Again", "Revenge of the Pink Panther", and "Trail of the Pink Panther" ) and the recently released DVD of "Return of the Pink Panther", so the only thing worthwhile in this release slate at all is that "Curse of the Pink Panther" and "Son of the Pink Panther" are finally being released on DVD. Now all that is needed is the oft-forgotten Alan Arkin installment in the series, "Inspector Clouseau".

These may be the bad Pink Panther films but at least they get DVD releases. You can get the good ones in a nice boxed set. But at least the whole Pink Panther movie series is not available on DVD! I think that the new movie, THE PINK PANTHER, with Steve Martian and Beyonce Knowles is gonna suck...

The Pink Panther Strinkes Again, Revenge Of The Pink Panther, and Trail Of The Pink Panther were in the previous collection released by MGM. The other two are just horrible extensions of the series. I guess they're releasing these since Focus Features is releasing Return Of The Pink Panther. That's the only movie not owned by MGM (Sony to be correct). What I'm p**sed about is that they are single releasing movies that are already out when I want the special editions of Fistful Of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More. Region 2 has them released, why can't they release them here, those lazy b*****ds.
